Ooooooooh! 2 (2026) by Sara Samsøe Moghaddas is a ceramic sculpture depicting a rounded human head caught in the act of making a sound. With its heavy eyelids and small, pursed mouth forming an exaggerated “oooooh”, the figure appears to be vocalising a sensation that remains open to interpretation. Its pale face contrasts with the brightly striped ears, and a tiny hat perched on its head introduces a playful sense of absurdity.
Presented as part of She-Devil at Innenkreis, the work embraces the exhibition's interest in theatricality and exaggerated expressions of femininity. The title gives voice to the sculpture, turning its pinched mouth into an audible gesture. Whether expressing pleasure, surprise or disapproval, the figure makes its presence felt without offering a clear explanation. Through humour and caricature, Moghaddas creates a character that resists expectations of feminine composure, allowing the act of expression itself to take centre stage.
